Santa and Penguins Christmas card

Hi Crafty friends,

How gorgeous is this Di's Digis image, I don't often use Santa but this one is just the cutest I think I've ever seen! I glittered up their hats and other white fluffy parts. This is really so much cuter in real life, it was so difficult to take a photo of.

Vintage Mermaid ~Thinking of You~ card

Hi crafty friends,

I don't often try vintage style as it's not really my thing but A Day For Daisies images are gorgeous and often I feel inspired to create vintage cards with them. I won some Graph'It Markers and used only them on this image, I loved using them and how they turned out, I dotted her outfit on purpose to give it a scaly look.

StampArt by Kathryne Christmas card

Hi Crafties,

How gorgeous is this little sweetie? I know I'm in love with all my digis I use lol but I've got to say she was just darling to colour and I love how she turned out. You can find her at Whimsy Stamps, she is created by the lovely Kathryne (StampArt Design by Kathryne) who has some beautiful images. I have sparkled Alannah's fluffy clothing items but it's a bit difficult to tell in the photo.

I used some red pearls and a silver rhinestone (in the snowflake) from Flourish with a Bling.
